As it slowly starts to reopen its airport lounges, No1 Lounges has launched two new promotions.

Remember that No1 Lounges is no longer part of Priority Pass or Lounge Club. Unless you have a DragonPass card, you will need to pay to access any of their lounges.

No1 Lounges discount

Code SUMMER2020 gets you a 20% discount on a No1 Lounges gift voucher. This can be redeemed for a future visit by yourself or whoever you choose to give it to. There are two sorts of gift voucher you can buy – either entry to a specific lounge or a £20 or £50 credit towards any lounge visit.

Code CHAMPERS21 does not save you any money but does get you a voucher for a free glass of champagne to enjoy whilst in the lounge.

Both codes expire on 31st October. The champagne offer is for lounge visits up to 30th April 2021. It includes all No1 Lounges, Clubrooms and My Lounge sites in the UK.

Both offers can be booked on the No1 Lounges website here. The specific page for ordering gift vouchers is here.
